Opportunity International Australia

OIA

Opportunity International Australia is a non-profit organisation that uses a business approach to solve the problem of poverty. Rather than a hand-out, we provide people living in poverty with a loan as small as $100 to help them start or grow their own small business. This enables them to earn a regular income so they no longer have to struggle to afford food, clean water, proper shelter or an education for their children.

With more than 35 years experience working with the poor, Opportunity International Australia is a leading provider and pioneer of microfinance and support services. Part of the global Opportunity International Network, we are currently providing a way out of poverty for millions of people around the world.

Our mission
Our mission is to provide opportunities for people living in poverty to transform their lives. Our vision is to see millions of people lifted out of poverty permanently.

Our motivation
Opportunity International Australia is motivated by the call to serve the poor. We believe in the potential of people regardless of their gender, ethnicity or religious affiliation.
